Abstract: A front member having a hue with higher reflectivity is disposed in a support recess of a front support body having a hue with lower reflectivity. A bottom portion of the support recess has rib-shaped boundary portions that separate openings that light emitting elements face. The front member includes front facing portions that cover the front sides of the boundary portions and front openings that face the front sides of the light emitting elements. Light emitted from the light emitting elements is reflected by an inner surface of the front member and surfaces of the front facing portions, which have a hue with higher reflectivity, and is provided to a transmissive display portion.

Abstract: A shaft is rotatably supported by an upper housing (base), a raising and lowering gear for a monitor is rotatably supported by the shaft, and a pivot gear and a guide member are unrotatably supported by the shaft. A rack and a guide rail are disposed on the back face of the monitor such that the raising and lowering gear meshes the rack and the guide member slidably engages with the guide rail. When the raising and lowering gear rotates by a drive source of a first motor, the guide rail is guided by the guide member to move upward and downward, and accordingly, the height position of the monitor is adjusted. When the pivot gear rotates by a drive source of a second motor, the guide member rotates along with the shaft, and accordingly, the tilt angle of the monitor is adjusted.

Abstract: A monitor apparatus includes a display panel housed in a housed position, a driving section, a detecting section, and a controlling section. The driving section includes a gear transmission mechanism for driving the display panel and causes the display panel to perform a first operation in which the display panel is moved from the housed position to an upright position via a horizontal position and a second operation in which the display panel is lowered from the upright position and is drawn into the housed position via the horizontal position. The detecting section detects when an external force is applied to the display panel placed in the upright position. When the detecting section detects that an external force is applied, the controlling section causes the driving section to drive the display panel in a direction in which the external force was applied.

Abstract: A monitor system includes a display panel, a storage case receiving the display panel, a support member movable in the storage case, arm members, first guides in the storage case, and second guides in the support member. The support member rotatably supports the lower end of the display panel. Each arm member has a first supporting point, a second supporting point, and an intermediate supporting point. Each arm member is connected to the display panel through the first supporting point. The second supporting points of the arm members are engaged with the first guides. The intermediate supporting points thereof are engaged with the second guides. In the monitor system with this structure, when the support member is moved forward, the display panel can be rotated upward with a relatively small force such that the display panel is brought from a horizontal posture to a raised posture.
